The documentation contained in the 470-page Directory of Contemporary Worship Musicians (available as a free eBook from Way of Life) proves that contemporary worship music (CWM) is a jungle of end-time apostasy and that it is led by “another spirit” (2 Cor. 11:4). When you look at the fact that CWM has an illicit relationship with the world, which the apostle John plainly stated is “not of God” (1 John 5:15-17), that CWM represents the charismatic movement in all of its dangerous heretical weirdness (e.g., gibberish speaking, spirit slaying, holy laughter, holy drunkenness, word-faith name-it-and-claim-it, latter rain miracle revival, fourth dimension prayer, end-time prophets and apostles), that CWM is ecumenical through and through and closely affiliated with Rome, that most contemporary worship musicians love Dietrich Bonhoeffer and C.S. Lewis and a galaxy of other rank heretics, that CWM is permeated with Roman Catholic contemplative prayer mysticism, that many contemporary worship musicians love wretchedly corrupt “Bibles” such as The Message, and that large numbers of contemporary worship musicians love The Shack and its idolatrous god, etc. -- it is obvious that we are dealing with “another spirit” rather than the Spirit of God who is the Spirit of Truth and Righteousness (John 4:23; 14:17; 15:26; 16:13; 1 John 4:6). The music itself feeds the charismatic-ecumenical mystical experience. The sensual pulsing, skipping, tripping, body-jerking syncopated dance rhythms, the electronic modulation, the reverb and echo and feedback, the unresolving chord sequences, the pounding drums, the sensual vocal styles, the dramatic rise and fall of the sound, and the repetition create an atmosphere in which charismatic seekers experience an emotional high, are hypnotized to receive an unscriptural message, and are prepared for “signs and wonders” phenomena. Whatever is operating in the charismatic-ecumenical movement, it is definitely “another spirit” when tested scripturally (2 Corinthians 11:4), and contemporary praise music is that spirit’s vehicle. Once we establish that CWM represents “another spirit,” it is easy to see that it has no place whatsoever in a Bible-believing church. God has commanded His people to “touch not the unclean thing” (2 Corinthians 6:17). He has commanded His people to come out of end-time Babylon: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Revelation 18:4).
